That's a really good idea Henry, I agree!

What it boils down to is this: If they want you to translate this stuff then you say "well, look, first you have to serve it to me, and if I like it, then I'll translate it".

pancake/crepe

Hi LisaMac,
I believe these are little pancakes or crepes in which you'd roll up bits of smoked salmon. Here are a few references:

You might want to add the word "savoury" to clarify that they aren't sweet (for the dimmer clients who might jump to the wrong conclusion) :).

cake

No sabes de qué son las tortitas? por ejemplo las de cangrejo se llaman crab cakes o de maíz corn cakes. Son bocados pequeños.
Peer comment(s):

agree Alice Bootman : I think you're on to something here, Nathalia. LisaMac, I suggest you check with the restaurant about what kind of "tortitas" they are.

crackers, toasted bread

normally pancakes and crepes are sweet, and salmon is served with salty crackers, or maybe toasted bread IMHO

patty (patties)

I'm not much for the kiltchen, and practically zero on Spanish food, but to me "tortitas" could well be "patties" of some kind.

Check it out to see if it might fit.

agree Marjory Hord : that is what I would call any tortitas I know (Mexico)

blinis

I think 'tortitas' could be described as 'blinis' in this context, which are little Russian pancakes that are often served with smoked salmon or caviar. See google images for lots of delicious-looking examples!

agree Elin Davies : This is quite common with smoked salmon I think
